About Boston Dog Lawyers
Boston Dog Lawyers is a Massachusetts-based law firm dedicated exclusively to protecting the rights of pet owners. Founded by Attorney Jeremy Cohen, the firm has built a reputation for defending pets in legal trouble, resolving disputes between pet owners and third parties, and advocating for fair treatment of animals under the law.
While the legal system often views pets as property, Boston Dog Lawyers takes a different approach—recognizing the deep emotional bond between humans and their animals. We aim to ensure that pets are valued as family, not just possessions. We combine extensive legal knowledge with compassion and strategic thinking, helping clients navigate complex and emotionally charged situations while working toward the best possible outcome for both pet and owner.
Our practice areas cover a wide range of pet-related legal issues. We defend pet owners in dangerous dog hearings and dog bite cases, challenging unfair designations and protecting dogs from unnecessary restrictions or euthanasia. We represent clients in emotional support animal (ESA) and service animal disputes, ensuring that federal and state accommodation laws are applied correctly in housing, workplace, and public access cases. We handle pet custody cases arising from divorce or separation, helping to negotiate or litigate ownership arrangements so pets remain in the care of those who will best meet their needs. In addition, we advocate for owners whose animals have suffered harm at boarding or daycare facilities.
We investigate cases thoroughly, work with expert witnesses when necessary, and fight to hold negligent professionals accountable. We also provide pet business legal advisory services to grooming salons, boarding facilities, trainers, and other animal-related businesses, helping them navigate employee issues, insurance, contracts, and dispute resolution.
Our work extends beyond individual cases. Attorney Cohen has been instrumental in shaping pet-related legislation, most notably Ollie’s Law, the groundbreaking 2024 Massachusetts statute regulating pet daycare and grooming facilities. This law was born from the firm’s courtroom experiences and reflects our commitment to turning legal victories into lasting policy changes that protect pets across the state.
At Boston Dog Lawyers, we understand that when a client comes to us, their pet’s future—and often their family’s peace of mind—is on the line. We approach each case with urgency, empathy, and dedication, keeping communication clear and accessible throughout the process. Whether we are negotiating a settlement, representing a client in a hearing, or advocating for new legal protections, our goal is the same: to protect the human–animal bond and keep pets where they belong—safe, healthy, and at home with the people who love them.
